2025 River Camps: Adventure Awaits on the Huron!

Our river camps at Argo and Gallup Canoe Liveries are licensed by the State of Michigan and led by experienced instructors who prioritize safety while maximizing outdoor fun and adventure. Kids will learn to explore and appreciate the natural world from the best seat in the house – a boat! Because the activities repeat throughout the summer, please register your child for one week only.
